THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.
for all those experienced uk backpacker/travelling gig go-ers out there, how much would a jaunt to sunny germany cost all in, if i wanted to do, say, 3 consecutive dates?
for example:
April 01, Frankfurt
April 02, Leipzig
April 03, Zwickau
how much would i need to think about laying out, including flights, accomodation & gig tickets?
What’s the difference between a buffalo and a bison?
Gig tickets are a bit cheaper than here for the sisters, about £17 I think. Flights should be easy enough for under £50 if you book earlyish, and accomodation varies a lot. Youth Hostels are generaly very nice in Germany, with even some single rooms on offer, at about £15 a night.
...you could always learn esperanto really quickly...
...or even GERMAN! it's *ahem* easy really...
And there's always the usual Brits-talking-to-foreigners tactic of SHOUTING VERY LOUD - IN ENGLISH!!!!
I can't speak a word of German but it's never been a problem...
Most German travel/ticket websites have either an English version or a window with translations in. If there are any Belgian dates, Belgian sites are even easier.
http://www.eventim.de are quite good but I don't know if they are doing the tickets this time?
As to price, can't help you really as I always have to go for the dearer end of the market (my bones are even older than the rest of me). But it's cheaper than travelling around the UK. And the trains go where they say they will.
thank you
and i'll be double thankful if you could show me the name of the Sisters in tickets-per-post list
dear-o-dear. for the second time tonight - you don't need to wait for listings of the sisters gigs to come up. If you want it, get stuck in and email them.

i'm not absolutely sure but now it seems to me (through the smoke and mirrors) that i mailed right to them and they forwarded my question to eventim as i ordered m'era luna tickets...
anyway, since today there are sisters shows added to the eventim list.
the second time tonight? well, doesn't matter...
again: thanx to everybody who answered to my mayday

You're welcome. TPP emailed me back asking how many and where etc. You obviously possess none of my fatal charm....

The Belgian gig should be fairly easy (and cheap) for you to reach. By ferry it takes you a few hours to go to Zeebrugge. From there on a good thumb should get you an hours drive (at max) to the gig...
You even can pay for your travel by taking back to england some bags of cigarettes
